Alright everyone, so awhile back I bumped an old thread about drinking songs, which was later closed and I was told to open a new thread on the topic. I forgot about it for awhile, but I was listening to some tunes tonight and decided it was time to recreate this topic.
Drinking songs - Man, I love like old Irish pub songs and American folk. With the simplistic chords and basic lyrics, there is almost nothing better than to open a frosty barley pop and bust out in a melody with friends. This is a simple idea, but not all songs are good drinking songs. There are two types of drinkings songs:
1. Those that are great to sing while drinking -OR- 2. Those that capture the essence of drinking.
Quite often they are one in the same as well. So, this thread is to honor and collect those great drinkings songs. Here are a few of mine:
Merle Haggard - Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink + Show Spoiler +
Type 2: Tom Waits - The Piano has Been Drinking (Not Me) + Show Spoiler +
Jimmy Buffet - Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw? + Show Spoiler +
Come on guys, share those drinking songs! (Please, tag and spoiler the youtube vods to save on loading time!)

Aww man, was gonna post the Metallica version of that...
I prefer that one because it's a bit heavier, but both The Pogues and Thin Lizzy are awesome so I can't complain :D
I'd imagine most people knows this. But for years, someone always puts this one (or a danish similar song), where everytime the word "thunder" is said, you have to drink.
